Orchard will create shared components for building ASP.NET applications and extensions, and specific applications that leverage these components to
meet the needs of end-users, scripters, and developers. Additionally, we seek to create partnerships with existing application authors to help them achieve their goals. Orchard is delivered as part of the
ASP.NET Open Source Gallery under the
CodePlex Foundation. It is licensed under a
New BSD license, which is approved by the OSI. The intended output of the Orchard project is three-fold:

A set of re-usable components that makes it easy to build such applications

A vibrant community to help define these applications and extensions

In the near term, the Orchard project is focused on delivering a .NET-based CMS application that will allow users to rapidly create content-driven Websites, and an extensibility framework that will allow developers and customizers to provide additional functionality
through extensions and themes.

Erik Porter and Nathan Heskew are two of the developers of Orchard. Do they look familiar? Sure they do. They used to be devs on the C9 team.

I worked on both Oxite and Orchard. The ALT.NET's loud screaming unfortunately did affect Orchard a LOT. With Oxite, we went back and fixed the parts up that made sense (not everything they complained about, but lots of it). It was our first MVC app,
which I'll also throw out is STILL running sites just fine today despite "bad" programming practices. Orchard is the polar opposite and has used "good" programming practices from day 1. We'll see how it goes. Note, I am no longer on the Orchard team for
my day job.
